Hi Chris,
Currently there is no possibility of distribute the Cost between Free Cost Object and Cost Center using a distribution Rule. Currently it is not possible to set a distribution rule for the Free Cost Object. The following options are available in the system.
1. Settlement Run: This run distributes the cost from one Free Cost Object to another Free Cost Objects. There is no option to select the cost center as the receiver side. Here the sender and receiver both will be the Cost Object.
2. Distribution Rule: Using this rule, you can distribute the cost accumulated on the Cost center to either the Project/Project Tasks or the Cost centers. Again in this case, the Sender will always be the cost center.
Could you try this workaround if this fits the requirement
Distribute it from one cost object to another and maintain the correct profit centers against each cost object. That way on profit center level you would get the correct amounts.
Thanks
